To keep your hair system in top shape and prevent issues like melting glue, follow these essential hair system care & maintenance tips:
Avoid Showering for the First 24 Hours
Do not shower or wet your hair system for the first 24 hours after your service. This allows the adhesive to properly bond with your skin.
Avoid Excessive Heat, Hair Dryer & Hot Water
Heat weakens the adhesive bond. Stay away from saunas, prolonged direct sunlight, and high-heat styling tools like hairdryers.
Keep It Dry
Minimize exposure to sweat and moisture. Use a scalp protector to shield the adhesive from perspiration.
Take Care of Hair Knots & Use Wide Tooth Comb
Gently pull out any tangles by using a pair of soft tweezers, but try not to use much force as although durable, some parts of a hair system can be fairly fragile. Always use wide tooth comb as narrow tooth comb can tear the hair system
Use a Low-Heat Dryer
Style your hair with a hairdryer on a low heat setting or use the cool air option to protect the adhesive. This Hair system care maintenance tip will help you prevent melting the glue.
Store at Room Temperature
Always store adhesives in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot or humid environments.
Wash Gently & Avoid Harsh Products
Use sulfate-free, gentle shampoos and conditioners. Avoid products with sulfates, alcohol, or parabens, as they can damage the hair and base.
Don’t Over-shampoo
It is essential to shampoo sparingly to avoid removing all the oils from your hair system. You should wash your hair system in lukewarm water instead of hot and limit washing to twice a week.
Pat, Don’t Rub & Take Cold Showers
Take cold showers, as hot water can melt the adhesive. After washing, pat the hair system dry with a microfiber towel instead of rubbing to avoid loosening the bond.
Sweat Management
If you exercise regularly, opt for waterproof adhesives or strips designed to hold up during active conditions.
Protect from UV Rays
Apply a UV-protectant spray to the hair system to prevent discoloration and dryness from sun exposure.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
It’s recommended to service your hair patch every 2 weeks to ensure hygiene and maintain its life.
Pro Tip: Every skin type is unique and may require a different adhesive. Consult our stylist at Yalla Hair Salon during your next visit for personalized recommendations.
